Artists like Nine Inch Nails?

[jamesh]

Hi
I've recently been getting into Nine Inch Nails (especially The Downward Spiral). I need more of this kind of music and the attitude of this music.
Can anyone recommend to me some albums like The Downward Spiral of any artist?
Thanks

Now when you say like NIN, do you mean the style of music, or the poppy emo lyrics?

If your really interested in the style of music, I'd suggest giving real industrial music a chance. Artist like Manson, Stabbing Westward, and Orgy are all based off of Nine Inch Nails, which is in turn based loosely on the industrial genre.

My suggestions:
KMFDM, Wumpscut, EisBrecher, and anything by Andy LaPlegua.

Andy LaPlegua was the frontman for Icon of Coil, then started 2 side projects Panzer AG, and Combichrist. Everything he makes is great. Panzer AG is more the raw old Manson style, but better. Where Combichrist really set itself aside as it's own genre.

Edit:
I also second Mr. Nails' suggestion for Skinny Puppy, their new album Mythmaker has some really good songs, like their older stuff.

It depends which side of Nine Inch Nails you like.

If you like the bouncy electro sound of "Only", check out LCD Soundsystem or Soulwax.

If you like the nice instrumentals like "A Warm Place" or "La Mer", try Sigur Ros or God is an Astronaut.

I love the older ministry albums... Not to impressed with the newer ones though. The album with the fat chic with a dunce cap sucked horribly!

Hi thanks for all the suggestions
i've checked out some kmfdm, ministry & skinny puppy - some goodness there.

regarding the "nin = poppy mainstream b/s debate", i agree that sometimes the lyrics are shyt, such as the love songs but the thing i love about nin is that they have nice music & itrent reznor is a fucking amazing vocalist - better than the skinny puppy / kmfdm / ministry vocalists by far (of what i've heard from them). & to me vocals either make or fuck up a band.

Like great lyrics and the industrial synth-pop sound? Try VNV Nation!

The newest album Judgment is not so great, good lyrics, not so great music. FuturePerfect and Praise the Fallen are really good ones though.
